TAR Extractor

Links and device files are skipped: a browser can only save ordinary files and folders. File permissions (like executable bits) aren’t kept either.

A single compressed file (like data.csv.gz) unpacks to that one file, named as the archive recorded it.

In Chrome and Edge on computers, “Save all to a folder” writes every file into a folder you pick, keeping the subfolders; files already there aren’t overwritten. Other browsers save one file at a time, or all files as one ZIP.

Up to 4 GB. RAR and 7Z archives are unpacked by 7-Zip running in the page, which can hold up to about 1.5 GB of files at once. Very large archives are better handled by a desktop app.

Opening it here is: nothing inside is run, and names that try to escape their folder (like “../../file”) are cleaned up before anything is shown or saved. Archives that claim to be small but unpack to enormous sizes (“zip bombs”) are stopped. What you do with the extracted files afterwards is up to you: be careful with programs and documents from unknown senders.

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
